Pyrrha

[5] When Zeus decided to end the Bronze Age with the great deluge, Pyrrha and her husband, Deucalion, were the only survivors.

Even though he was imprisoned, Prometheus who could see the future and had foreseen the coming of this flood,[6] told his son, Deucalion, to build an ark and, thus, they survived.

[citation needed] The story of Deucalion and Pyrrha is also retold in the Roman poet Ovid's famous collection Metamorphoses.

In this retelling, Jove (the Roman equivalent of Zeus) takes pity on the couple, recognizing them to be devout worshipers.

When the storm has cleared and the waters have subsided, Deucalion and Pyrrha are taken aback by the desolate wreckage of the land, and understand that they are now responsible for repopulating the earth.
